Is there any other group of people that sees the inside of people's homes and how they really live
as a bill collector for cable, i often have to go into people's homes to retrieve the cable equipment. I once spent 5 days working in Cleveland and our local office gave me a large box of plastic bags. I asked "what is this for?" The reply: "to seal the cable boxes in...the area you are working has a lot of roaches and the roaches like the warm inside of the older large cable boxes." Nice....I collected 75 boxes that week..
I dont know how people live this way. A good (inactive JW) friend of mine, before he was married, lived by himself in a small house. I never got to go inside, but from the door once I could tell it was a mere path that ran through the house. He married another good (also inactive JW) friend of mine, who used to be very active, and her mother is an absolute clutter bug/hoarder. So you have a hoarder and a clutter monster married to each other....yeah, its hard to walk through their tiny upstairs apartment. I love them...but thats ridiculous.
I have a rule...for every one thing I bring in, I try to get rid of 2 or more... its why I can still park my car in the garage after 11 years. I dont accumulate crap. I may have to start another thread about this topic...
i'm grateful for the new site, but i just can't seem to get with the flow.. i'm dealing with a lot of other stuff - personal and job-related - so that is part of the problem.. does anyone else feel this way?
please hold my hand and tell me that i'm not alone.. please.. sylvia.
and I might add... I love sleeping in on Sunday morning instead of getting up, putting on a suit and tie, slogging to another mindless meeting.
me and the cat just lie in bed until about 9 (that is sleeping in for me) and then get up and get ready to go to work...always a better day to be making money than donating money to the Borg
i thought of a camera but not for JW reasons...crazy neighbor reasons.. (though that seems to have calmed down with the installation of a 6ft high 120 ft long stockade fence running between our properties).
I still run into the dubs around town... some I think try to avoid me, others try the guilt trip.... only moving away will ever stop it..move far enough where no one knows you (of course, the whole 6 degrees of separation thing is only 3 deep in dubville...)
ya know... I used to eat this chronology stuff up... studied it a lot... after going through the chronology unit in MTS (Ministerial Traning School...aka Value Destroying School as Wiz says)... I found waaay too many discrepencies.... had to bury my additional doubts a few more years before walking away. The generation issue bugged me before they made the major change in 95. I didnt know why then, but I do now.
now... i have a hard time reading this drivel. I appreciate the smart people on this forum digesting it for me... it gives me a headache otherwise.
I used to be a skip tracer....might have some ideas...PM me via JWD...
and I am not a gold member of Classmates.com either...I might for this year only since my 25th reunion is coming up..but I think my brother is a member...
